Inside Bar SetupScript Details
- This script plots Inside Bar for given day in selected time-frame (applicable only for Timeframes < Day)
- Basis plotted inside bar, relevant targets are marked on the chart
- Targets can be customised from script settings. Example, if range of mother candle is 10 points, then T1 is 10 * x above/below mother candle and T2 is 10 * y above/below mother candle. This x & y are configured via script settings
How to use this script ?
- This script works well on 10-15 mins timeframe for stocks, 15/30 mins timeframe for nifty index and 30/60 mins time frame for bank nifty index
- If mother candle high is broken, take long trade with SL of mother candle low and if low is broken, take short trade with SL of mother candle high
Remember:
1. Above logic is to be combined with support/resistances i.e. price action. This script is an add-on to price action analysis giving you more conviction.
2. If range of mother candle is very high, it is recommended to avoid the trade.
3. Basis inside bar formed on higher time frame, take trade on basis of lower time frame i.e if inside bar is formed on 60 mins, take trade on the basis of 10-15 mins time frame
Example:
1. As seen in the chart, Nifty is near it's resistance and we are seeing Inside Bar being formed, In such scenario, even if High of Mother Candle is broken, we should be more interested to short as we are near resistance and probability of getting our targets in long side is less.
2. So, if I see breakdown of mother candle i.e. price going below low of mother candle, we will short with SL of high of mother candle.
3. As seen in the chart, both the targets are achieved.
Additional Info:
1. Targets on Long/Short Side can be configured via settings. For indices 1 times/1.5 times the range works well.
2. This script plots targets basis the first inside bar formed in the day for selected time frame.
3. Inside bars formed through out the day are coloured separately but lines are plotted only on the basis of 1st formed inside bar as this strategy works well for the first formed inside bar)
4. Don't forget to check volume in case of breakout/breakdown.
Note:
1. Mother Candle - First Candle of Inside Bar
2. Child Candle - Candle formed inside Mother Candle (Second Candle of Inside Bar)
Happy Trading :)

Pre Market \ Opening Range High LowGreen vertical lines are showing pre market open and then the opening range as the first hour of market NYSE market open
Pre market high and low are blue lines | intraday opening range high low are in white
Trades are taken in the current direction above | below range breaks with the direction of price action using the moving averages
Price breaking through moving averages and a range is the optimal trade to enter - exit at next range for target - stop loss below the lower | higher moving average depending on short or long
A break above or below the intraday high or low and pre market high or low can give massive profits trailing your stop loss as price runs
Using MA 5 and 12 to filter out entries and exits above or below the ranges short or long is also another strategy to implement
BEST TIME FRAME TO USE IS 5 MINUTE
Williams Fractals with BreaksThis is a Bill Williams fractal indicator with breaks.
I was turned onto fractals and the importance of their breaks by ChaosTrader63.
I know several version of this indicator have been done.
I chose this as a first project because of it's simplicity , but also because of the poor code quality of some other versions I looked at.
This is the first draft that successfully met my three criteria:
* Must identify all fractals, including simultaneous up/down fractals.
* Must identify fractal breaks with a clear indicator.
* Must provide information on how many fractals
For the first bullet, I wanted to provide a more concise modern version than the boolean logic composition I was seeing in other examples.
The later two required tracking the past which was not present in the other versions I looked at.
Code here can be improved for more uses and better integration, but it is functional and elegant enough to use.
Thanks for checking it out.

EMA MTF PlusI like trading the 1 minute and 3 minutes time-frames. I'm what is commonly called a "scalper". Long term investments yes, I have some, but for trading, I don't have neither the time,
nor the patience to wait hours or days for my trade to be complete.
This doesn't mean I discount the higher time-frames, no, I actually rely heavily on them. I found that EMAs do a decent job as support/resistance, sometimes to a tick level of precision. And this is important for a 1 minute trader.
As such, I made this script that tracks the higher time-frames EMAs and displays the last value as a line.
I do not need the whole EMA, I'm not interested in crossovers or crossunders, these are anyway late signals for me.
What's with the triangles? These are local tops/bottoms , candles that have a have decent size of the wick. These tops and bottoms are by no means "final", they are merely a rejection at certain levels of price. Due to markets complexities (and human erratic behaviors hehe) these levels could be breached at the very next candle. For a more "final" version (nothing is really final but..) I added Schaff Trend Cycle as filter, so a triangle will pop only when a trend is mature enough ( STC with a value near 0 or near 100).
Colored bars. When the body of the candle is big, it shows strength. Strong bars tend to have follow through, especially when breaking key levels. The script looks at the body of the candle and compares it with ATR (Average True Range), if it's at least 0.8 of ATR it changes the bar color to yellow (bull candles) or fuchsia(bear candles).
Range identifier. This code is copied from Lazy Bear (if there are any issues please let me know), it's very useful in conjunction with colored bars.
I look for breakout candles that go outside of the range as a signal for a trade.
There are many ways in which this script can be useful, like trading mean reversions or momentum trades (breakouts) or simply trend following trades.
I hope you guys find it useful, you can play with default values and change them as you like, these are what I found to be working best for me and my trading universe (mostly crypto).
Special thanks for the original work of:

Volume Positive Negative (VPN) [LevelUp]The idea and calculations for the Volume Positive Negative (VPN) indicator were created by Markos Katsanos. Markos wrote about the indicator in the article Detecting High-Volume Breakouts, published in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities April, 2021 (Vol. 39, Issue 5).
The goal of the VPN indicator is to detect breakouts using only volume. The basic idea is to compare volume on up days versus volume on down days. The indicator can oscillate between the range of -100 and 100. Values between 0 and 20 are generally considered bullish, negative are bearish.
When the plotted VPN crosses over what Markos refers to as the critical value, that may indicate a high volume breakout. The critical value can be adjusted between 0 to 20, 10 is the default,
Volume Positive Negative Calculation (VPN)
VPN = (VP - VN) / MAV / Period * 100
VP - sum of positive volume
VN - sum of negative volume
MAV - moving average of volume
Volume is considered positive when the average price is higher than the previous day's price by more than .1 of the ATR (average true range).
Please help to make Larry Williams' volatility breakthrough.Hello Traders!
I'm going to backtest Larry Williams' volatility breakthrough strategy.
However, contrary to my expectation, orders at certain bars are made the next day.
Is there anything I missed at my pine script code?
Please give me any tiny tips.
Thank you!!
False BreakoutA false breakout is when the price temporarily moves above or below a key support or resistance level, but then later retreats back to the same side as it started.
The “False Breakout” indicator reveals false breakouts in comparison to the previous candle.
In case we're looking to trade the stock for long this would mean that the price of the stock broke the previous low (support) and then got back above that low.
In case we're looking to trade the stock for short then a false breakout would mean the stock broke the previous high (resistance) and then got back below that high.
How to use the indicator?
First choose the direction you're looking to trade, meaning either long or short.
Then choose how strict you want to be about the Falls brakes.
There are three options:
The first option named “All“ means that it's enough that the stock broke the previous level and then get back to the original side.
The second option is “Supporting Change” meaning not only that the stock broke the previous key level (support or resistance), but also the change at the end of the candle is supporting the main direction - meaning the change is positive for long or negative for short.
The third option is “Engulfing”. This is a well-known candle, but to make it clear, in our case “Engulfing” means that not only the stock broke the previous level but it also ended the day on the other side of the candle - higher than the previous high, in case of long, and lower than the previous low, in case of short.
When you choose the level of strictness you determine how many indications you're going to get on the chart.
If you choose the highest level of strictness, meaning “Engulfing”, you would only see the red flags indicating engulfing candles.
If you choose the lowest level of strictness, meaning “All”, you will get more indications on your chart, including every false breakout.
When the direction you're looking for is long, all indications would appear below the candles.
When the direction you're looking for is short, then all indications would appear above the candles.
The Engulfing candles are represented by Red flags, and the Simple breakouts candles are represented by yellow. All colors may be adjusted to your preference.
Explaining the example above:
In the chart above we can see two consolidations. At the end of each consolidation, we can see a candle with an indication from the indicator that points out that this could be the end of the consolidation and the stock might continue its move.
In “consolidation 1” we can see that there is an orange flag below the candle right before the stock began to move up again.
In “consolidation 2” we can see that there is a red flag below the candle, right before the stock began another move.
Wishing you all the best :)
SMT - Smart Money Thursday Boxes
The Smart Money Trading Thursday - is a very specific trading system. You only trade it on a Thursday.
The script/indicator will color Thursdays as two boxes. If you just want one color, use same color for
both boxes. The boxes is there to indicate London/New York sessions.
SETTINGS
In the setting you find a numeric value as 1700-0400:5
The "5" indicate Thursday. You can change that if you prefer to color another specific day.
For example "4" would indicate Wednesday. And you can change the hours to fit your
sessions and trading style.
You can also use the 2 boxes on different days. If you for example would like to color up
London for Wednesday and Thursday. Then set hours to fit London session and adjust the
:5 to 4 on the 1st box and 5 on the 2nd.
HOW TO USE IT?
The Smart Money works in a way retail trading does not. Smart Money has an objective
to locate retail patterns, where there will be a lot of stop loss volume to be grabbed.
So when a retail trader see a setup like a "Double Top / Bottom". The Institutional
will see $$$ of dumb money, ready to be taken. The best moves happen on a Thursday
but if you are a skilled trader, you can see the move also occur on Wednesday or Friday.
The first thing that will happen, is that the Smart Money Breaks out of session. Meaning
they will leave the current weeks high/low range. To start collect negative contracts
of the retail volume.
When you see that happen. And you see a breakout that consist of 4 in a row 1 hour
chart candles. Then you have your first rule meet.
#1 Thursday breakout of current weeks high/low. And the move is a clean 4 hour move
as 4x H1 candles. The move can start within range. But must end clearly outside.
Visual Example:
#2 Next, we await an engulf at peak or near peak. That is where Institutional
may have problem to match any more contracts, and since they used their own
money to make this move. They must now mitigate orders, and return back to
the original retail pattern as most retail traders are now stopped out.
(Normally this is a long/clear candle out of range. they rarely go lower
then retail traders entry in the 1st push. This to not save any souls :)
#3 Price returns back to where the breakout from the retail happens.
You can now take your profit as a Smart Money Trader. Trading with less risk,
you can take profit of the return of that latest 4x H1 candle move. (Order
Block)
CONCLUSION
The best trade is when you can combine a retail pattern, followed by a
breakout which holds 4x 1 hour candles in the outbreak direction.
2nd best is when you have the 4x H1 breakout and really no clear retail
pattern. Still is the same game. Just not as clear as the one above.
Study the steps in this image and you see what to look after:
Good Luck with your trading!

Soldiers Pattern ModifiedThis can be perceived as modified 3 soldiers, relaxed NR4 or even extended harami candlestick pattern.
Works for any instrument and any timeframe.
The idea is to find out any number of candles having their individual highs and lows, all within high and low range of base candle.
The count of soldiers and if they must be of same color, both can be configured.
Additional configurable settings is to add further check of having body of soldiers as well within body of base candle.
Trading strategy: Trade high or low breakout of base candle, having other as stop loss, for a risk reward ratio of 1:2.
Big Breakout IndexBig Breakout Index is a great indicator for detecting breakouts. When the current close breaks out of consolidation, the indicator will tell you.
Green - Buy
Red - Sell
Force IndexWhat is the force index ?
The force index is an oscillator used to confirm price breakout strengths and identify potential trends.
It was popularized by A. Elder.
How the force index is computed ?
Knowing that volume is the fuel of a price movement, reliable breakouts and trend continuation are more likely to occur on high volume breakouts. This is why the force index is computed with the intensity of the price movement, and it's volume , using the formula ema13((close(n) - close(n-1)) * volume ) .
How to use the force index
An important change in the force index indicate a strong momentum in the price action.
You can read more about the force index interpretation on Investopedia
Customization
You can display the indicator as an histogram, or as a line chart.
You can change EMA length, although it's recommended to keep it at default value.
CPR by Anand with PDL/PDH & Breakouts 15/30 minsThis is an enhanced version of CPR by Anand with Configurable previous day high and low and option to configure breakout lines of 15 and 30 mins.

Elev8+ Impulse LevelsElev8+ Impulse Levels | Smart Support & Resistance
Ever notice price rejecting “empty” areas on the chart—like it remembered something that isn’t obvious?
That “something” is often Institutional Impulse : footprints left behind by large, aggressive moves that get defended again days or weeks later .
Elev8+ Impulse Levels automatically detects these moments and projects the most important prices forward so you can see the structure most traders miss.
— — —
🧠 How It Works (The Logic)
This is not a typical support/resistance tool. It does not hunt swing highs/lows.
It looks for Market Intent —the “Perfect Storm” when two conditions align:
Volume Spike — buying/selling pressure significantly exceeds average volume (multiplier-based).
Volatility Expansion — the candle body is unusually large relative to recent ATR.
When both occur, the script marks the event and treats the impulse close as a key “line in the sand” that can influence future reactions.
— — —
🎯 How to Use These Levels
The script includes a Smart Line behavior that changes level styling based on how price interacts with it—so you can quickly separate two core setups:
1) The Defense (Bounce)
Visual: 🟢 Solid line (Fresh / Untouched)
What it means: Price has not yet traded through or “invalidated” the level.
What to look for: First return to the level → rejection / bounce behavior.
Why it matters: Large players often defend prior entries; first tests can react sharply.
2) The Flip (Break & Retest)
Visual: ◌ Dotted line (Broken / Re-priced)
What it means: A candle has closed through the level.
What to look for: Price returns to the dotted level from the other side (“kiss”) → continuation.
Why it matters: Broken support can act as resistance (and vice versa), similar to a breaker concept.
— — —
✨ Key Features
Smart Visualization — levels automatically transition from solid → dotted when broken to reduce chart noise.
Impulse Candle Highlighting — see the exact candle that created the level (origin clarity).
Fully Customizable Sensitivity — tune volume + size thresholds for Crypto, Forex, Futures, or Stocks.

🚀 The Elev8+ Workflow
Think of Impulse Levels as your map : it shows where reactions are most likely.
For entry timing, pair it with Elev8+ Pro Reversal to confirm the moment price reacts at these high-value zones.

Sideways Zone Breakout 📘 Sideways Zone Breakout – Indicator Description
Sideways Zone Breakout is a visual market-structure indicator designed to identify low-volatility consolidation zones and highlight potential breakout opportunities when price exits these zones.
This indicator focuses on detecting periods where price trades within a tight range, often referred to as sideways or consolidation phases, and visually marks these zones directly on the chart for clarity.
🔍 Core Concept
Markets often spend time moving sideways before making a directional move.
This indicator aims to:
Detect price compression
Visually highlight the sideways zone
Signal when price breaks above or below the zone boundaries
Instead of predicting direction, it simply reacts to range expansion after consolidation.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works
1️⃣ Sideways Zone Detection
The indicator looks back over a user-defined number of candles
It calculates the highest high and lowest low within that window
If the total price range remains within a defined percentage of the current price, the market is considered sideways
This helps filter out trending and highly volatile conditions.
2️⃣ Visual Zone Representation
When a sideways condition is detected:
A clear price zone is drawn between the recent high and low
The zone is displayed using a soft gradient fill for better visibility
Outer borders are added to enhance zone clarity without cluttering the chart
This makes consolidation areas easy to spot at a glance.
3️⃣ Breakout Identification
Once a sideways zone is active:
A bullish breakout is marked when price closes above the upper boundary
A bearish breakout is marked when price closes below the lower boundary
Directional arrows and labels are plotted directly on the chart to indicate these events.
📊 Visual Elements Included
Sideways consolidation zones with gradient fill
Upper and lower zone boundaries
Buy and Sell arrows on breakout
Optional text labels for clear interpretation
All visuals are designed to remain lightweight and readable on any chart theme.
🔧 User Inputs
Sideways Lookback (candles): Controls how many past candles are used to define the range
Max Range % (tightness): Determines how tight the range must be to qualify as sideways
Adjusting these inputs allows users to adapt the indicator to different instruments and timeframes.
📈 Usage Guidelines
Can be applied to any market or timeframe
Works well as a context or confirmation tool
Best used alongside volume, trend, or risk management tools
Signals should be validated with proper trade planning
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is provided as open-source for educational and analytical purposes only.
It does not generate trade recommendations or guarantee outcomes.
Market conditions vary, and users are responsible for their own trading decisions.
Zee's A+ MOMO BreakThis just shows an indicator when you have a 5 minute momentum candle that breaks PMH under specific parameters, i.e candle size, wick size, relative volume, time of day, etc. It will plot the PMH with a gold line automatically. Entry would be at the close of the MOMO break. I highly encourage you to back test your results and see how strong this setup is. Any questions feel free to comment or reach out, thanks.
True vs False Breakout (Vol + Body Shape) **Indicator Description: True vs. False Breakout Detector**
This indicator helps identify the quality of a breakout by analyzing price action and volume.
**★ Green Arrow: "True Breakout (Strong Candle)"**
This represents a high-confidence breakout signal.
* **Criteria:** Price Breakout + Volume Surge + Strong Candle Close (minimal to no upper wick).
* **Significance:** Indicates strong bullish momentum.
**● Grey Dot: "Weak Breakout"**
Appears when price breaks resistance but shows signs of weakness.
* **Criteria:** Breakout with low volume OR a long upper wick (rejection).
* **Meaning:** "Price made a new high, but the move is untrustworthy."
* **Action:** Do not chase the long position. Be cautious and look for potential reversals.
**▼ Red Label: "False Breakout (Reversal)"**
* **Signal:** Appears when a Weak Breakout (Grey Dot) is followed by bearish price action.
* **Action:** This indicates a confirmed False Breakout and presents a prime shorting opportunity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
★指标描述：真假突破辨别。
★绿色箭头 "真突破 (强K线)"：
这是你要的完美信号。
它意味着：价格破位 + 成交量放大 + K线收盘坚决（几乎没有上影线）。
对应刚才的行情： 刚才那根1H大阳线应该会触发这个信号。
灰色圆点 "弱势突破" (新增)：
如果价格突破了阻力，但是没量，或者留了长上影线（像你之前描述的那几根15分钟线），指标会标记灰色圆点。
含义： “虽然价格破了新高，但我不信任它”。这时候千万不要追多，反而要准备做空。
红色标签 "假突破 (反转)"：
当灰色圆点（弱势突破）出现后，紧接着出现红色标签，就是绝佳的做空点。
Open Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB)
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a classic intraday strategy used across stocks, indices, FX and futures. It focuses on how price behaves during the first minutes of a major session, when liquidity and volatility are highest.
This indicator fully automates the ORB process with session detection, box drawing, breakout & retest logic, and final Buy/Sell signals.
Multi-Session Support
Choose between the three most important global opens:
Asia (Tokyo) – JPY pairs, Asian indices, gold, crypto
London – FX majors, European indices, strong volatility
New York – US indices, USD pairs, gold, oil, highest volume
The Opening Range is calculated only during the selected session.
ORB Range (5 / 15 / 30 min)
The indicator builds the ORB High/Low from the first X minutes of the session, draws the box, and waits for price action once the range is complete.
How It Works
ORB Window → High/Low of the opening minutes are recorded.
Breakout → Price closes above/below the ORB → “BREAKOUT” label.
Retest → Price returns to the ORB box → “RETEST” label.
Confirmation Levels Freeze → Upper/lower structure set.
Final Signal
Close above frozen upper level → BUY
Close below frozen lower level → SELL
This filters out false breakouts and provides structured continuation signals.
Alerts
Includes built-in alert conditions for:
ORB BUY Signal
ORB SELL Signal
Alerts trigger exactly when the Buy or Sell label appears.

DR/IDR Break .5 TPDR/IDR Extension Breakout with Custom Stop
This strategy is a systematic, counter-trend, and momentum-based system designed for intraday trading. It operates on the principle of an Opening Range Breakout (ORB), utilizing the initial market consolidation to project high-probability targets, while offering multiple methods for managing risk.
1. Market Identification (The Opening Range)
The strategy begins by defining the market's initial boundaries and volatility:
Session Window: The strategy calculates the Opening Range (OR) over a user-defined time period (default: 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM New York Time).
ORB Levels: Two key price levels are established and locked once the time window closes:
Wick High/Low: The absolute highest and lowest prices of the session. These serve as the entry trigger lines.
Body High/Low (Shaded Range): The highest and lowest open/close prices of the session. The height of this range is used to calculate the Take Profit and Stop Loss levels.
2. Entry Rule (The Breakout)
The strategy is passive until the range is violated, looking for a strong move out of the consolidation area.
Trigger Condition: A trade is signaled when a candle closes either:
Above the Wick High (for a Long entry).
Below the Wick Low (for a Short entry).
Execution: The entry is a Market Order executed on the candle that meets the trigger condition, subject to a user-defined Entry Delay (default 0 bars, meaning the entry is taken immediately upon the breakout candle's close).
Direction Control: The user can select to trade Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
3. Exit and Risk Management
All trades are placed with simultaneous Take Profit and Stop Loss orders (a bracket order) once the entry is filled.
A. Take Profit (TP)
The Take Profit is set at the 0.5 Extension of the Shaded Range (Body Range).
Calculation: The distance from the Body High/Low to the TP level is exactly 50% of the total height of the Shaded Range.
B. Stop Loss (SL)
The Stop Loss is dynamically calculated based on a user-selected method for risk control:
Range 0.5 (Body Range): The Stop Loss is placed an equal distance (0.5 times the Body Range height) outside the opposite side of the Body Range.
Example (Long): If entry is above the Wick High, the SL is set 0.5 times the Body Range height below the Body Low.
ATR Multiple: The Stop Loss distance is determined by the asset's recent volatility.
Calculation: The distance is calculated as a user-defined Multiplier (default 2.0) times the Average True Range (ATR).
Recent Swing Low/High: The Stop Loss is placed based on a structural level defined by recent price action.
Long Entry: SL is placed at the Lowest Swing Low within a user-defined lookback period.
Short Entry: SL is placed at the Highest Swing High within a user-defined lookback period.
Summary of Workflow
The market sets the Wick and Body boundaries (e.g., 9:30–10:30 AM).
Price breaks and closes beyond a Wick boundary, triggering a signal.
The trade enters after the specified delay.
A bracket order is placed: TP is fixed at the 0.5 Extension, and SL is set based on the user's chosen risk method.
The trade is closed upon reaching either the TP or the SL level.
DR/IDR, fractals, break + EMA Clouds + VWAPThis indicator is a powerful, multi-layered trading tool that combines three distinct forms of market analysis—volume, trend, and opening volatility—onto a single chart.
1. Opening Range Breakout (ORB) System
This is the foundation of the indicator, designed to capture the initial volatility and set key price boundaries for the trading day.
Time Focus: The indicator's primary analysis is centered on a specific, user-defined time period (default is 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM New York Time). Nothing related to the ORB drawing will appear on the chart before this session starts.
Wick High/Low (The Trigger): These lines track the absolute highest and lowest prices reached during the time window. They define the full extent of the initial range and are used to determine when a genuine breakout occurs.
Body High/Low (The Range & Targets): These lines track the highest and lowest open/close prices of the candles within the session. This area forms the central, shaded zone, representing the core consolidation area.
Range Shading: The background between the Body High and Body Low is shaded, but this visual feature only appears during the active forming time window (e.g., 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM) to maintain chart clarity.
Fractals: While the range is forming, the indicator detects 5-bar Williams Fractal patterns that occur inside the range. These small triangles (▲ or ▼) highlight minor reversal points established by the early trading action.
Breakout Signal: After the user-defined time window closes, the indicator waits. If a subsequent candle's price moves above the Wick High or below the Wick Low, a "BREAK" label is displayed on that candle. It is programmed to label only the first decisive break in each direction per day.
Extension Targets: When a breakout occurs, target lines are automatically projected above the Body High (for a bullish break) or below the Body Low (for a bearish break). The distance between these targets is calculated based on a user-defined fraction (e.g., 0.5 steps) of the total height of the Body Range.
Line Cutoff: For tidiness, you can set a "Stop Time" (e.g., 4:00 PM) after which the ORB lines will automatically disappear.
2. EMA Clouds (Trend and Momentum)
Four distinct Exponential Moving Average (EMA) clouds are plotted to provide a dynamic, multi-speed view of the market's trend and momentum.
Structure: Each "Cloud" is the shaded area between two EMAs (one shorter length and one longer length). The indicator includes four customizable pairs (defaulting to common settings like 8/9, 8/14, 34/50, and 14/21).
Trend Coloring: The clouds are color-coded:
Bullish (Greenish): The shorter EMA is trading above the longer EMA, signaling upward momentum.
Bearish (Reddish): The shorter EMA is trading below the longer EMA, signaling downward momentum.
Application: These clouds are used to confirm the overall market direction or identify potential zones of support and resistance.
3. Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
The VWAP is a crucial anchor for measuring the market's efficiency throughout the trading day.
Function: It calculates the average price of the asset, giving more weight to prices where higher volume was traded.
Context: It helps traders quickly determine if the current price is trading at a premium (above VWAP) or a discount (below VWAP) relative to the day's volume.
Reset: The VWAP line automatically resets at the beginning of each trading day.
Customization: The VWAP line can be toggled on or off, and its color and width are fully adjustable.
DR/IDR fractals break candle (ChadAnt)This indicator is an Opening Range Breakout (ORB) tool. It identifies the high and low price range established during a specific time window (e.g., the first hour of trading, 9:30–10:30 AM NY time). Once that time window closes, it watches for the price to "break out" of that range and projects profit targets based on the size of the initial range.
Key Features & How They Work
1. The Opening Range (The Box)
Time Window: The indicator waits for your specific start time (default 9:30 AM NY). It does not draw anything before this time.
The "Wicks": It tracks the absolute highest and lowest prices reached during this time (the Wicks). These act as your Breakout Triggers.
The "Body": It tracks the highest and lowest candle closes/opens during this time. This creates a shaded "zone" on your chart, representing the core area where most trading occurred.
Shading: To keep your chart clean, the background shading only appears during the forming time window.
2. Breakout Signals
Once the time window ends (e.g., 10:30 AM), the indicator "locks" the levels.
It then waits for a candle to move above the Wick High or below the Wick Low.
The Signal: When this happens, a label ("BREAK") appears on the chart.
Green Label: Bullish breakout (price went above the range).
Red Label: Bearish breakout (price went below the range).
Note: It only signals the first breakout of the day to avoid false alarms during choppy markets.
3. Extension Targets (Profit Levels)
When a breakout signal occurs, the indicator automatically draws target lines (extensions).
Calculation: These targets are based on the height of the "Body" zone (the shaded area).
Example: If your setting is 1.0, the indicator measures the height of the shaded body range and projects that exact distance above the breakout point. This is often used as a "Measured Move" target.
You can customize how many lines appear and how far apart they are (e.g., 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 times the range size).
4. Williams Fractals
During the opening range time, the indicator looks for specific price patterns called "Williams Fractals" (a 5-candle pattern that highlights potential turning points).
If a fractal peak or valley occurs inside your opening range, it marks it with a small triangle (▲ or ▼). Traders often use these as early signs of support or resistance forming inside the range.
5. Clean Visuals
Line Cutoff: You can set a "Stop Time" (e.g., 16:00 or 4:00 PM). The lines will stop drawing at that time so they don't clutter your chart overnight.
Gap Handling: The lines are programmed to break cleanly between days, so you don't see messy diagonal lines connecting yesterday's close to today's open.

SMC N-Gram Probability Matrix [PhenLabs]📊 SMC N-Gram Probability Matrix
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The SMC N-Gram Probability Matrix applies computational linguistics methodology to Smart Money Concepts trading. By treating SMC patterns as a discrete “alphabet” and analyzing their sequential relationships through N-gram modeling, this indicator calculates the statistical probability of which pattern will appear next based on historical transitions.
Traditional SMC analysis is reactive—traders identify patterns after they form and then anticipate the next move. This indicator inverts that approach by building a transition probability matrix from up to 5,000 bars of pattern history, enabling traders to see which SMC formations most frequently follow their current market sequence.
The indicator detects and classifies 11 distinct SMC patterns including Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, Liquidity Sweeps, Break of Structure, and Change of Character in both bullish and bearish variants, then tracks how these patterns transition from one to another over time.
🚀 Points of Innovation
First indicator to apply N-gram sequence modeling from computational linguistics to SMC pattern analysis
Dynamic transition matrix rebuilds every 50 bars for adaptive probability calculations
Supports bigram (2), trigram (3), and quadgram (4) sequence lengths for varying analysis depth
Priority-based pattern classification ensures higher-significance patterns (CHoCH, BOS) take precedence
Configurable minimum occurrence threshold filters out statistically insignificant predictions
Real-time probability visualization with graphical confidence bars
🔧 Core Components
Pattern Alphabet System: 11 discrete SMC patterns encoded as integers for efficient matrix indexing and transition tracking
Swing Point Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh/pivotlow with configurable sensitivity for non-repainting structure identification
Transition Count Matrix: Flattened array storing occurrence counts for all possible pattern sequence transitions
Context Encoder: Converts N-gram pattern sequences into unique integer IDs for matrix lookup
Probability Calculator: Transforms raw transition counts into percentage probabilities for each possible next pattern
🔥 Key Features

Customizable Table Position: Place probability display in any corner of your chart
📖 Usage Guidelines
N-Gram Configuration
N-Gram Length: Default 2, Range 2-4. Lower values provide more samples but less specificity. Higher values capture complex sequences but require more historical data.
Matrix Lookback Bars: Default 500, Range 100-5000. More bars increase statistical significance but may include outdated market behavior.
Min Occurrences for Prediction: Default 2, Range 1-10. Higher values filter noise but may reduce prediction availability.
SMC Detection Settings
Swing Detection Length: Default 5, Range 2-20. Controls pivot sensitivity for structure analysis.
FVG Minimum Size: Default 0.1%, Range 0.01-2.0%. Filters insignificant gaps.
Order Block Lookback: Default 10, Range 3-30. Bars to search for OB formations.
Liquidity Sweep Threshold: Default 0.3%, Range 0.05-1.0%. Minimum wick extension beyond swing points.
Display Settings
Show Probability Table: Toggle the probability matrix display on/off.
Show Top N Probabilities: Default 5, Range 3-10. Number of predicted patterns to display.
Show SMC Markers: Toggle on-chart pattern labels.
✅ Best Use Cases
Anticipating continuation or reversal patterns after liquidity sweeps
Identifying high-probability BOS/CHoCH sequences for trend trading
Filtering FVG and Order Block signals based on historical follow-through rates
Building confluence by comparing predicted patterns with other technical analysis
Studying how SMC patterns typically sequence on specific instruments or timeframes
⚠️ Limitations
Predictions are based solely on historical pattern frequency and do not account for fundamental factors
Low sample counts produce unreliable probabilities—always check the Samples display
Market regime changes can invalidate historical transition patterns
The indicator requires sufficient historical data to build meaningful probability matrices
Pattern detection uses standardized parameters that may not capture all institutional activity
💡 What Makes This Unique
Linguistic Modeling Applied to Markets: Treats SMC patterns like words in a language, analyzing how they “flow” together
Quantified Pattern Relationships: Transforms subjective SMC analysis into objective probability percentages
Adaptive Learning: Matrix rebuilds periodically to incorporate recent pattern behavior
Comprehensive SMC Coverage: Tracks all major Smart Money Concepts in a unified probability framework
🔬 How It Works
1. Pattern Detection Phase
Each bar is analyzed for SMC formations using configurable detection parameters
A priority hierarchy assigns the most significant pattern when multiple detections occur
2. Sequence Encoding Phase
Detected patterns are stored in a rolling history buffer of recent classifications
The current N-gram context is encoded into a unique integer identifier
3. Matrix Construction Phase
Historical pattern sequences are iterated to count transition occurrences
Each context-to-next-pattern transition increments the appropriate matrix cell
4. Probability Calculation Phase
Current context ID retrieves corresponding transition counts from the matrix
Raw counts are converted to percentages based on total context occurrences
5. Visualization Phase
Probabilities are sorted and the top N predictions are displayed in the table
Chart markers identify the current detected pattern for visual reference
💡 Note:
This indicator performs best when used as a confluence tool alongside traditional SMC analysis. The probability predictions highlight statistically common pattern sequences but should not be used as standalone trading signals. Always verify predictions against price action context, higher timeframe structure, and your overall trading plan. Monitor the sample count to ensure predictions are based on adequate historical data.
